"the neighbors are fully mad now" LOL. Ted, That's just what I was thinking when you were romping on it!

It doesn't sound bad with in the clip with the lers, but I suspect it will still set off car alarms.

Throttle response sound great!

Hope the weather is good for you the day you are able to take to the strip. April is a shoot.

Nice price and even better... the work on the fab. That 500 has a unique sound. I bet the sound clips dont do it justice like hearing it live

I have been driving the car around some and also took it to the track for the first time. I also weigh all the parts but I forgot to post them before.

Old New
Shock and springs both sides (includes cc plates) 58.0 37.2
K-Member 38.8 16.2
A-Arms both sides 28.4 10.4
Total 125.2 63.8

So I saved 61.4 pounds.

I would recommend the Team Z front end. It handles great on the street and to me feels no different than the stock front end. I have not even got a front end alignment yet and I feel completely at ease driving it around. I steers perfectly straight and true.

At the strip I'm a bit disappointed but it was so busy I only got in two runs and could not fine tune it. I thought I would be in the low 1.6 60' but it ran a 1.79. This could be due to a number of factors and I bet I can do a lot better next week-end. The front end lift is much greater and I feel there is potential there.

But I did run a 11.909 @ 106.5mph and this is about .4 faster and 7 mph faster than last year.

Anyway a big thumbs up for Team Z!
